[Npoc-discuss] Nomination: NPOC colleague Caleb Ogundele for position of Chairperson, NPOC Membership Committee

Thu May 28 14:51:19 UTC 2020

Dear NPOC Community,

It is with great pleasure that I accept the nomination for the position of
Membership Chair. I'm humbled and see this as a call to service once again

I want to thank Prof. Sam Lafranco for nominating me, to Carlos and
Poncelet who seconded and to everyone(I wish I could mention everyone’s
name but for space constraint) on the mailing list who endorsed my
nomination

It has been an exciting year serving as your communication chair and I am
proud of some of the modest accomplishments made while working with the
rest of the EC and the NPOC community.

I look forward to working with everyone to build on what we started but now
as a candidate running for the membership committee to achieve greater
heights within the ICANN community.

Please find below my candidate statement.

Caleb Ogundele

______________________________________________________

Name : Caleb Ogundele

Affiliation:  African Academic Network on Internet Policy (AANOIP)

Position applied for:  Membership Committee Chair

Why you are running for the position?:

NPOC's work within the ICANN community holds an important role and in order
to fulfill such roles, it needs to have a very strong and vibrant /
well-motivated members within which other stakeholders in the community
relate to the work and interest of Not-for-Profit, Civil Society, and
Academics within the constituency.

It is therefore very pertinent to connect with these other stakeholders and
varied interests within the ICANN community to understand the work that
NPOC does with the view of serving as a more vocal voice of reasoning and
logic during engagements with other communities within and beyond ICANN

In the last few months of being part of the Executive Team, we had so much
commitment to fulfill this mandate and part of it was to revamp our website
to have a good (HCI)human-computer interaction as well as good user
interface and mobile responsiveness and periodical newsletter and
information passed to the members of NPOC. This was with the help of some
members and the EC who committed some of their time during this development
which I was glad to have experienced as a team player while leading those
efforts as communications chair.

Additionally, the bedrock of the GNSO which NPOC is part of is the policy
and public comments for the Not-for-Profit Orgs. I have participated in a
couple of draft documents used to engage within the NCSG and NPOC. As part
of these efforts, i have tried to stimulate the interest while
communicating with members by calling their attention to public comments
that they can participate and contribute to.

Recently, during a major internet governance meeting in my region, I and
another member of the NPOC Excom carried out outreach to engage
Not-for-Profit, Civil Society domain owners who previously never had a
clear understanding of what they stand to benefit in participating in ICANN
and by extension NPOC. This was done through a panel session and
distribution of promotional materials of NPOC.

I strongly believe that if elected as your membership committee chair, my
work within the leadership of the NPOC will reflect actionable outcomes,
increase in NPOC’s membership activities, member’s quarterly
“ask-your-executives anything” sessions, educational webinars as well as
outreach and engagements that serves all member’s interest.

I represent diversity age and regional wise and with the support of
members, they will continue to experience a bottom-up approach consensus to
DNS Policy engagement with a focus on realizing the ICANN's
multistakeholder PDP missions.

I do hope to bring in diversity and a proactive approach to the role I'm
putting myself forward for service.

Additionally, I am also active within regional affiliation such as AFRINIC,
ISOC-NG Chapter, and AFRALO and currently in a couple of working groups
within ICANN.

My participation in different fora within the internet space has also seen
my contributions on internet governance policy issues ranging from data
privacy, Copyright and Intellectual Property and copyright,  Cyber
Security, sustainable access, digital rights, media literacy, and
development & capacity and other internet-related issues which I believe is
consistent with some of the concerns the NPOC has within the DNS industry.

In my professional experience from being a Project Manager, I believe it
puts me in a value-added position to what the Not-for-Profit Operational
Concerns Constituency (NPOC) stands for in bringing my industry experience
to bear from a technical perspective to serve in the role of membership
committee's chair.

Do you have any conflict(s) of interest?:

No

How many Hours a week you are able to dedicate to the position: 8+ hours

Are you involved in any working Groups or PDP efforts, if so please state:

Universal Acceptance Measurement WG, CWPG, AFRALO Hot Topics Working Group,
IDN Policy Working Group, At-Large Social Media Working Group
